It'd only be a little more to just get the Premium Package, but meh I can live without auto-dimming mirrors, power lumbar, and ambience lighting...maybe I'd just get it anyway. Also, I could easily drop heated seats and comfort access if needed for price...though in reality if I buy a 1er, I won't compromise on getting what I want...what'll really matter is my finances at the time.

I guess my config is pretty heavily optioned...but hey, if I was looking for no-frills motoring, I wouldn't be shopping a bimmer.
